April May Ramblings

Hello Everyone, I hope all is well. April and May was a little quiet musically for me. However I did share the stage with Australian icon Kavisha Mazzella at Montsalvat in Victoria. It's a great venue and I once saw the classical guitarist John Williams playing there on a TV show. I always wanted to play there.It's an old Artists colony and it sill has resident artists staying there. painters, Luthiers and all other kinds of art.

  I also for the 2nd year in a row played the Australian Celtic festival. It was great to be involved in this event in the town of Glen Inness , New South Wales.

Fans of Richard Gilewitz in Aus/NZ would be happy to know he has returned. It's his 2nd tour of Australia.

And Michael Fix is forever keeping busy bringing a guitar show to all parts of the globe.

 Sadly I had to knock back an opportunity to perform in Ireland once again, The cost of the airfare which coincided with the Olympics was far too expensive for me to justify going over for that time. Although I would have flown into Dublin, it seems all fares to that corner of the globe were pushed quite high unless you got in very early.
However, I will return to Eire. It's my 2nd home!!

John Spillane made a short visit to Australia, It's his 3rd tour I do believe. He's a gas character and I always love to join him for a tune or two.

My good buddy Mick McHugh has just finished a tour with Ralph McTell. He had a cracking tour!!!
